King up for baseball Hall

OK, Bay Area sports fans, time to do our part again. Bill King's up for the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

King, who died in 2005, is on the online ballot again at www.baseballhalloffame.org. Voting closes Sept. 30. King won the online portion in 2005 and '06, then finished second last year. The top three in the online vote are included in the final 10-man ballot submitted to the selection committee, where 15 previous honorees and five historians or media members choose one broadcaster each year.

Everyone knows King belongs in a Hall of Fame; the only question is baseball, basketball or football? But baseball's is the best chance for fans to get involved. Vote early and vote often.
